1852. The aftermath of destruction (Part 1)
Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, which had dominated one of the Unknown Regions star sectors for hundreds of years, finally perished under the attack of Endless-class Super Carrier.
Legally...
Why is it said to be legal?
Because the Marines, Shepard Squad, and Fourth Legion of Eternity actually destroyed less than one percent of the power of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium.
But they did indeed kill the supreme rulers including Ssi-ruuvi Emperor, and paralyzed the highest administrative agencies of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium.
So this can be said to be a war between Duchy of Dawn and Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, with Duchy of Dawn winning.
On the surface.
In the capital of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, Kriyak Palace was captured, and after the news of the suicides of Ssi-ruuvi Emperor and Great Xirithut spread, it caused an uproar in the territory of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium!
Ssi-ruuvi Imperium's caste hierarchy is very strict, and Great Xirithut and Golden Bishop, as political and religious Supreme Leader, also lead the thoughts of the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium people.
What does the defeat of Great Xirithut mean?
For the people of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, the shock of Great Xirithut's defeat is basically equivalent to the shock that a devout Christian heard that Jesus led an army to attack. As a result, the army was completely destroyed, and Jesus himself was killed by the enemy...
This is basically the level of shock.
The defeat of Great Xirithut almost overturned all Xilu people's faith!
After Lieutenant General He Ru confirmed the death of Great Xirithut, he sent a notice to the entire sector. It demanded the surrender of all Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, and also announced the abolition of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium's caste system. It mainly announced that Pia'ek people would be freed from slave status and would obtain the same citizenship rights as Xilu people.
This point is the most important, because it means that the super battleship Eternity will personally end the battle to ensure Pia'ek people's rights. If there are Xilu people who want to treat Pia'ek people as a slave, then Endless-class Super Carrier will seek justice for Pia'ek people!
In order to ensure its commitment to Pia'ek people's independence, Lieutenant General He Ru handed over all 1.7 million firearms of various types seized from the Kriyak Palace's arms warehouse. Pia'ek people, including 1.1 million Blaster rifle, 590,000 projectile rifles, various types of heavy machine guns, light machine guns and General Purpose Machine Gun, totaling more than 8,000 units.
In fact, even Pia'ek people himself was at a loss for this subversive decision. Even when Duchy of Dawn handed those weapons into their hands, there were many cases where Pia'ek people would kneel down on the spot and hand over the weapons with both hands after being scolded by Xilu people.
Objectively speaking, the shapes of Xilu people and Pia'ek people are very similar, and Pia'ek people, even in its most primitive body shape, is far behind Xilu people, plus it has been thousands of years old Slavery and brainwashing, this really makes many Pia'ek people think that they are really inherently inferior to Xilu people. Otherwise, how can we say that they are so similar, but Xilu people is so powerful?
It is still unrealistic for them to directly become the masters.
Even if Endless-class Super Carrier is in charge, getting rid of slavery and caste system will be a long-term process.
In addition to distributing weapons to Pia'ek people, Lieutenant General He Ru also promulgated a series of measures. These include the elimination of existing Xilu people administrative agencies, the establishment of new administrative agencies including Pia'ek people; and the reorganization of Levik planet's existing public security, military establishment and other aspects of measures.
Normally, even if a super battleship like Eternity is stationed, it is still completely impossible to subvert a Ssi-ruuvi Imperium with a population of more than 10 billion.
However, Duchy of Dawn Exploration Fleet actually did it! Because Ssi-ruuvi Imperium is a very weird and weird Biological Battery Technology, their factory does not need to occupy a large area. Coupled with Ssi-ruuvi Imperium's extreme caste system and extreme centralization system, they have concentrated almost all industries in the Kriyak Palace. Now once this area falls, other areas of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium will lose their industrial capabilities almost instantly.
Only in this way can Duchy of Dawn Exploration Fleet, which has occupied Kriyak Palace, be able to suppress the entire Levik planet with just one division of Marines troops.
When Kriyak Palace fell and the news that Great Xirithut coerced Ssi-ruuvi Imperium to commit suicide reached General Lepix's fleet, General Lepix was already prepared for the worst.
Although extremely frustrated, General Lepix had to admit that it was precisely because of his reckless transfer of all the Empire's main fleet that he gave Duchy of Dawn fleet the best opportunity to invade.
The Empire's failure is already right in front of him, and it has the most direct relationship with himself.
But General Lepix never intended to betray Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, although in his usual work, his relationship with Golden Bishop was very tense, and he even wanted to bite his throat out many times. But at the critical moment of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium's life and death, they still stood up without hesitation and stood between the Duchy of Dawn intruder and Ssi-ruuvi Imperium!
General Lepix immediately ordered that all fleets reorganize immediately, broke the communication silence and began to reorganize. After that, all battleships immediately turned around and entered hyperspace to jump to Kruda planet, which was closest to Levik planet.
At the same time, he announced that he refused to accept all proposals from Duchy of Dawn. His main fleet remained loyal to Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, and in the future, he would continue to exist as the military government-in-exile of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium and continue to command the vast territory of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium.
After returning to Kruda planet, General Lepix once again released several wide-area communications in succession.
The first is that General Lepix directly takes over Acting Emperor of the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. Second, Ssi-ruuvi Imperium will establish a military government in exile in Kruda planet and refuse to recognize the traditional Ssi-ruuvi Imperium regime supported by Duchy of Dawn. Third, declare Duchy of Dawn a despicable invader and call on every citizen of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium to stand up and fight Duchy of Dawn to the end.
At the same time, General Lepix also announced that his main fleet was reorganized into the Ssi-ruuvi Restoration Army, with the mission of re-establishing the peak glory of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium.
Regarding this point, General Lepix still sees it very clearly. He knew that instead of taking back the only remaining main fleet in his hand, facing off head-on with Duchy of Dawn fleet who owned Endless-class Super Carrier, and desperately trying to get a result with a winning rate of only 40% at most, it was better to hold the main fleet in his hands, and maybe there would be another turning point in the future.
Of course, in the eyes of Shepard and Vice Admiral He Ru, there is no doubt that Lepic's fleet is a group of interstellar pirates. But at present, the Eternal super aircraft carrier must sit on the Levik planet to provide force deterrence for the planet where the planetary administration has just been destroyed and is completely in chaos.
Otherwise, even if Endless-class Super Carrier had just left for less than a day, I am afraid that hundreds of uprisings and riots would immediately start on the planet!
Of course, facing such a problem, Lieutenant General He Ru, who is exploring Fleet Commander, naturally has sufficient plans and preparations.
The so-called Exploration Fleet, as the name suggests, is a fleet that has a high degree of autonomy during the exploration process and is allowed to make any decisions based on the current specific situation.
From this perspective, the authority in the hands of Lieutenant General He Ru is probably greater than that of Sector Governor Sethvenna and Army General - General Ling Liang. At least General Ling is not qualified to decide whether he is in war or peace with another civilization.
Lieutenant General He Ru came to the center of Eternity, a very large laboratory.
After receiving the news of Lieutenant General He Ru's visit, more than 20 thin engineers and scientists wearing robes and holding scepters came out of the laboratory.
Vasari!
Lieutenant General He Ru nodded proactively, gave a military salute to the group of scientists and said, "I think we can proceed with the original plan. Mr. Phase Engineer, Grandison."
The leading Vasari engineer accepted the courtesy from Lieutenant General He Ru very calmly, nodded in greeting himself, and said, "I am also paying attention to the recent unrest in Levik planet. I I need to remind you that once the construction of this experimental hyperspace stargate begins, the rebels who get the news will immediately regard the stargate as the biggest threat, and the only stargate core we carry is Group One..."
He Ru nodded and said, "I know... once the core of this star gate is destroyed, then we will have to go back the same way, back to Dawn Star Planet, and then make a decision. If we really get to that point, it will basically declare the failure of our exploration operation."
He paused and said, "We have explored from many aspects. Most of Levik planet's industrial facilities, especially high-precision facilities, are concentrated in the Kriyak Palace. Other areas, including the interstellar shipyard, are mostly used for processing. Therefore, the production capacity of the Kriyak Palace is irreplaceable. Now, according to the news from the ground, Ssi-ruuvi Imperium's last resistance has collapsed, and it is time to start transforming their production lines and producing the parts we need."
"Then let's get started!" Vasari engineer Grandison said, walking directly towards the warehouse.
In the following period of time, Duchy of Dawn Exploration Fleet's main job is to continuously win over Pia'ek people and divide Xilu people.
They continue to provide weapons and equipment to Pia'ek people, encouraging them to break away from the control and slavery of Xilu people and fight for their own destiny.
In fact, after the news of Ssi-ruuvi Emperor Great Xirithut's suicide spread to the entire Levik planet, the uprisings and riots that broke out on the planet reached their peak almost instantly. Dozens of serious uprisings and riots occur almost every day. Those Xilu people are absolutely unwilling to have their emperor overthrown like this. What is even more impossible to endure is that their former slaves are actually allowed to enjoy the same citizenship rights as them?
This is a complete disgrace.
Therefore, a large number of Xilu people troops refused to recognize Duchy of Dawn Exploration Fleet's statement, and the Xilu people generals who commanded these armies rebelled one after another. They occupy cities and spaceports, refuse to recognize the rule of Duchy of Dawn, and are determined to resist to the end.
Lieutenant General He Ru's handling method is very simple and direct - at first he will let Endless-class Super Carrier fire back, using the extremely powerful Turbolaser cannon to bombard all the assembled Xilu people troops.
However, as the war situation becomes more and more complicated, this method can no longer stop Xilu people's rebellion. So General He Ru decided to mobilize nearby Pia'ek people.
These Pia'ek people are all slaves of Xilu people. They have formed deep-rooted servility over hundreds of years. Many people even think that they have been slaves of Xilu people since birth.
But after receiving weapons and the guarantee of independence from Duchy of Dawn, and then looking at the Endless-class Super Carrier that always turned on the super-powerful searchlight in the sky, looking down at the earth like Celestials, some Pia'ek people finally took the first step to resist fate!
The first shot of Pia'ek people's resistance started at a seaside port called Keda. On that day, Xilu people forced these Pia'ek people to rob a transport ship coming off Eternity. As a result, the unbearable Pia'ek people, prompted by a leader, rushed directly to Xilu people!
These crazy Pia'ek people shot them with guns, bit them with their teeth, and tore them apart with their claws. They killed all the Xilu people supervisors in just ten minutes. Then, based on the content and contact information broadcast by Eternity in the past few days, they publicly announced that Keda Port now belongs to Pia'ek people.
Eternity immediately responded to their declaration of independence and sent transport ships down again to deliver a large amount of food, weapons and ammunition to them. So the first Pia'ek Independence Army was established in Keda Port!
Even if there are a large number of Pia'ek people around who don't have the guts to resist Xilu people face to face, they will still escape secretly and go to Keda Port to join the Pieck Independence Army.
This is just the beginning. The Piac Independence Army began to appear in large numbers on Levik planet. In just a few days, seven cities were occupied by the Piac Independence Army. The number of Pia'ek people who rose up to resist has exceeded 5 million!
And with the help of Eternity, a joint command headquarters was established among these Piac independent armies to command and coordinate independent armies in different places.
At this moment, Duchy of Dawn Exploration Fleet has eliminated all remaining Xilu people resistance within the Kriyak Palace, and has also captured hundreds of thousands of Xilu people.
There are only 9,000 Fourth Civilization Marines on Eternity. It is very difficult to manage these prisoners and defend Kriyak Palace. On the periphery, several Xilu armies units tried to counterattack, but they were all dispersed by the firepower of Eternity.
But as time goes by, more and more Xilu people troops begin to gather towards the periphery of the Kriyak Palace, so it is only a matter of time before the second offensive and defensive war breaks out.
So, you must hurry up!
Vasari engineers started their work immediately. They selected some more obedient people from Xilu people Yellow Caste, and then began to repair and transform some industrial production lines in the Kriyak Palace for the production of stargate materials.
But according to their estimates, it will take at least more than a year to complete the construction of the Star Gate according to the current progress! This time is too long!
Therefore, we must get help from Pia'ek people!
